    Oh, come off it. Jesus Christ, I have never seen a bigger bunch of self-
righteous pinheads than those of you who have nothing better to do than show
the rest of the world you have nothing better to do but make total airheads out
of yourselves. This is a free, repeat, free country. If I wanna smoke in it I
can. And do. Dartmouth College has very few smokers in it and I'm used to hear-
ing all of your arguments, tired and hackneyed as they are.  Oh, we'd cost you
millions of dollars in medicare and welfare. Bullshit. We'd cost you even more
if your state no longer got its revenue from its tobacco tax. Yeah, and you're
polluting *my* air. Right. Then just get the hell away from me. If you're so
concerned about the atmosphere stop driving your car. A five-minute drive puts
thousands of times more pollutants in the air than one cigarette. The one I like
best is the one that says I'm going to kill myself. Great. That makes one less
smoker in the world. All you guys should be bloody ecstatic.
    It just bugs the shit out of me when grown adults can't tolerate a habit of
others. Jesus. You're all so high and mighty. Go ahead, you just try and legis-
late tobacco and cigarettes out of existence. Good luck. And while you're trying
that, we still have to listen to you whine and bitch about smoke. Look. You don't
like my smoke? Get the fuck away from me. If you're the kind of person who can
see past the surface at the person behind the cigarette you won't.  But if you're
the sort of superficial ass hole currently clogging the net who will judge me for
the sole reason that I have a cigarette in my hand, I don't want you near
me anyway.
